- Good grades are not given by the teacher; they are earned by
the student. (An "A" grade represents exceptionally good work. The grade for
acceptable, average work is a "C.") Your responsibility as a student is to
learn the material and complete the course requirements to the best of your
ability. The teacher's responsibility is to help you accomplish these goals.
- Your participation in class discussions is essential. Remember, there are
no stupid questions. When you ask a question, you may appear ignorant for a
moment, but if you don't ask you may remain ignorant for a lifetime. We are
all ignorant in some areas and expert in others, and we all have experiences
and ideas to share. The primary purpose of class is to learn from each other.
- All assignments should represent your best effort. They must be completed
and turned in on or before the date specified in the course calendar. Unless
previous permission is granted by the teacher, late work will not be accepted.
If you miss class, it is your responsibility to get the assignment from a
classmate or the teacher.
- Plagiarism or any other form of cheating on any assignment will result in
an automatic failing grade and referral to University Standards.
- You will be expected to demonstrate a high level of quality in your work.
Except for reaction cards and in-class work, assignments should be neat (typed
or done on a word processor) and employ correct English.
